50 Fun Things Kids Can Say to Alexa (Amazon Echo)

The company I work for surprised every employee with an Amazon Echo for the holidays. (I know, how cool is that, right?) My children have been having all sorts of fun asking Alexa questions, but after two months, they are starting to run out of ideas. Although new content is added to the Echo every week, I made it my mission to come up a list of interesting and fun things kinds can ask Alexa that they might not necessarily think of on their own. It took me well-over a week to come up with fifty. I hope your kids find something new on this list to ask their Echo!

One thing I want to mention is that Alexa is fickle. She might give you different answers to the same question asked at different times. Sometimes she might say she doesn't understand a question that she successfully answered in the past. Just tell your children to try again later. That always works for me.
